Okay, so much has happened since my last post and this is going to be a multi-posting evening. I need to get up to date on my blog so you can all hear (or read as it may be) what we've been up to!!
Since the raisin shot heard round the world, we've been on the move. In late September, our whole family had the privilege, and I mean that in all sincerity, of teaming with my sister-in-law for the Race for the Cure. Our immediate family has been doing this race since 2001, but this year was special. See our official family photo below of Team Silicone Sisters (not all team members were present...just our immediate family).
As many of you know, my SIL has had the up-close-and-personal experience with very aggressive breast cancer. She's fought the battle and has come out on top - thank you God. I can only imagine what this woman has been through the past two years - and yet with her quiet strength, she draws no attention to herself. That is why this day was even more important. We wanted as a family to show our support for her struggle, for her fight, for her strength in tough times, for her honesty about this dreadful disease. I'm proud to say that we were involved with this event as a family, as a team, but I'm thankful beyond words to be able to say "this is my sister-in-law - the survivor".
For any of you who know of this struggle or know someone who has been touched by this terrible disease, I encourage you to do something about it. On September 26th of next year, grab your walking / running shoes, throw on something comfortable and join us for little 3 mile adventure. You don't have to run. You don't have to even walk quickly. Heck, we'll push you in a wagon with your oxygen tank if we have to, but get out there and DO IT!!
I promise you - you will be touched by this event. You can't beat the experience - it is life changing for all those involved.
